Rajasthan Holidays - Rajasthan Pilgrimage - Dilwara Temples
Dilwara Temples
The Dilwara Temples stand with regal pride about 2½ kilometers from Mount Abu, Rajasthan's only hill station. The Dilwara temples are dedicated to the Jain Tirthankaras. The five legendary marble temples of Dilwara are holy places of worship for the Jains, and also repository of numerous manuscripts and
dissertations. The Dilwara Temples are monuments of great artistic beauty showcasing a meticulous blend of exquisite beauty and intricate craftsmanship. The marble temples have an ostentatious aperture amidst somniferous surroundings of mango trees and wooded hills.
Great social awakening and religious fervor among the people of Rajasthan characterized the period betwixt 800AD and 1200AD. Jainism (an ancient Indian religion that originated in 600 BC) established its firm foundation in Rajasthan. Matrimonial alliances between the Mughals and the Rajputs, a liberal policy towards Hindus adopted by the great Mughal Emperor Akbar, old Hindu shrines being renovated and new ones like the temples of Ranakpur and Dilwara being built demonstrated the kingdom of peace and communal harmony with people from different religions and communities existing in absolute accord.
The Garbha Griha (sanctum sanctorum) where the idol of the main deity is instated composes the basic structure of most of the temples in India. A prominent roof called the shikhara surmounts the top of the Garbha Griha and overlooks the surrounds. The temple is usually constructed on a platform with a flight of stairs leading into the temple. A porch covers the entrance to the temple generally supported by carved pillars. Rajasthan is speckled with some gorgeous temples built by the Jains. The Dilwara Temples are undoubtedly the best in terms of architectural perfection. The flamboyantly carved ceilings, doorways, pillars, panels and niches are really alluring. And the translucent shell-like treatment of marble outshines all magnificently designed monuments ever witnessed. There are altogether five important Temples in Dilwara:
1. The Vimal Vasahi Temple (Shri Adi Nathji Temple)2. The Luna Vasahi Temple (Shri Nemi Nathji Temple)
3. The Pittalhar Temple (Shri Rishabh Deoji Temple)
